The YBNBY Council - Part II
teamcrew.jpg
Pictured: Miss Cellania. Scaramouch. Baierman. Johnny Wright. Echowood. And Razen.

The first YBNBY council gathering back in June was a smashing success. No limbs were broken. (Read about it here.) So when Scaramouch turned on the Bat signal (via email) to plan the next gathering, more people wanted in.

This time we picked another classic New York watering hole - The Old Town - to discuss the state of the pop culture landscape, guzzle a few cold ones and stay out past curfew.

The Old Town fits our needs because since 1892 it has served the finest alcoholic beverages and pub food to the public. And judging by the photos on the walls, it's also hosted many film crews. This made it the perfect place for the expanded YBNBY writing staff to disgrace.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Did they get Hot?

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

Thanks to everyone who stayed with us in the last 10 days while we added our inaugural inductees to the HoF. We'll be getting back to our normal programming in the new year but will continue to sporadically build out this section in the coming months, so stay tuned.

The final entry is a personal favorite of mine, and sums up everything that's great about our "Where are they now" series. It's the kind of question guys sitting around in a bar will continue to ask for hundreds of years - "I wonder what happened to XXX and if she got ever got naked for Playboy".

I was reading DoubleViking about a week ago, and there's a post on Charlotte Church. Remember her, she was this child opera star, or something. And my only thought was...wow, well she grew up, didn't she. So then I started wondering about a bunch of childhood starlets, and if they went the route of Ashley, or if life had thrown them a Mary-Kate curveball.

Before you scroll down, take a guess...Did they get hot, or not?

- The above-mentioned opera singer
- The football loving daughter from Remember The Titans
- Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years
- The adopted daughter Stephanie from All in the Family
- Rudy Huxtable from The Cosby Show
- Karen Kinsella from Field of Dreams
- MaCauley Culkin's friend Vada from My Girl
- Stephanie Tanner from Full House
- Little Lex Murphy from Jurassic Park
- The youngest sister Claudia from Party of Five

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Pioneers of Striptease

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing. Continuing until new Year's Day, we'll be reprinting those pieces that brought us the most traffic.

When this piece originally ran, it garnered a whole slew of comments from ageing burlesque fans, reminiscing about some of the ladies we featured. And I use the term advisedly, because all of them assured us that the Pioneers we featured we charming, elegant and above all - true ladies.

Jennie Lee03
Long before instant access to internet pornography, in a world where people still used the phrase “stag film”, a group of ladies pioneered the art of striptease on stages in clubs across the world. Now, as Burlesque makes a comeback in hot clubs from NYC to Vegas, YesButNoButYes salutes those strippers who took the first groundbreaking, bare-assed steps towards creating an artform.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: 20 questionable career moves

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

Here's one that ran soon after Mel Gibson's little drunken tirade, and celebrates those "what were they thinking moments" that have been perfected into an art form lately by the Spears family.

gibson_billboard.jpg

Mel Gibson, you've just been arrested for drunk driving, accused Jews of starting all the wars in the world, and called a police officer sugar tits. What's are you doing next? I'm going to rehab!

So Mel likes his Dewars. So what's the big deal. I've had a few cocktails in my day. Actually, It's 7:00am now and I'm on my third shot. But that anti-semitic stuff...Max, that just doesn't play with the kids anymore. Hell, some people may even see this as an opportunity for insult, lampooning or seventh inning rants.. And that movie you've got on deck...you know, the one filmed entirely in Mayan? Yeh, this could hurt the box office. You better lay low for a little while. Maybe come back strong with Lethal Weapon Twelve, or whatever number you're on. We'll call you when Ari calms down.

But Mel isn't the first celebrity to make a career threatening move. For every drunken rant in Hollywood, there have been ten other celebity misteps that don't involve a bartab. But they're just as painful...maybe more. So many in fact, that we couldn't keep it to ten this time. We've put together a list of twenty classic instances, where the star may have done things differently if given the chance. So take a look at twenty questionable career moves in entertainment history, because there's nothing more fun than a broke blogger making fun of millionaires for displaying poor judgement...Enjoy!

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Adult Versions of Oscar Winners

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing. Continuing until new Year's Day, we'll be reprinting those pieces that brought us the most traffic.

I remember jotting off this story in a couple of hours one night, and thinking not much more about it. Until the traffic started to roll in. It's weird how something sometimes hits the nerve on the cultural zeitgeist system. This piece earned us our very first linkage from Wikipedia - oh, we're so proud.


Brokeback Mountain
With the Best Drama Golden Globe going to Brokeback Mountain, it looks like a main contender for Best Picture at the Oscars too. Which means there's one group of people heaving a huge sigh of relief tonight.

No, not The Log Cabin Republicans. I'm talking about the Adult Movie Industry. Year after year, Hollywood's output provides fertile ground for the makers of top class porn, and a story about gay cowboys is going to be right up their back alley.

All of which is the only excuse I need to look through the YesButNoButYes DVD library, and bring you the Top Adult Versions of the last ten years' Academy Award Winners.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Ten Creepy Ad Icons

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing. Continuing until new Year's Day, we'll be reprinting those pieces that brought us the most traffic.

YBNBY was started at an ad agency, and many of the writers have worked in that industry at one time or another. So it's not surprising that one of our most trafficked pieces is a love letter to the ad mascots that haunt our dreams.

HeadOn.jpg

Head On - Apply Directly to your Forehead
Head On - Apply Directly to your Forehead
Head On - Kill your parents
Head On - Join Us
Head On - Apply Directly to your Forehead

Yup...I taped it and slowed it down 500 percent, and that's what I heard. Meanwhile, a headache-curing product called Head On is permanently fused in my long-term memory, but I have no idea what Capital One is, or why David Spade hits a fat guy every time he says "yes" at the Capital One plant. So, what's the better spot?

And what's the deal with creepy commercials, anyway? Or more to the point, creepy advertising icons. For every cottonelle puppy that skips across the screen, there's a really twisted king on vacation from my last nightmare, or staring in a window offering someone a whopper with cheese...and the weird part is that he's the one kicking ass. So much so, that McDonalds tried to creep out the clown in defense. What? Do we like hearing sales pitches from mental facility escapees? Or is it just that it takes Freddy Kruger to "break through the clutter" (God, I hate that phrase). Anyway...seemed ripe territory for a list, so I put together ten of the creepiest icons in adland history, as a tribute to messed-up art directors everywhere...enjoy.

PS: One last thing. After I finished, I looked back and realized...Holy Shit, this would be the best Real World house MTV could ever dream of. There's gotta be a way we can make that happen.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Fart Lighting Videos

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

A couple of days ago, we received our first link from Gizmodo, the gadget guide - not a blog that would usually link to us, and bizarrely it was to mention a post we ran about a Fart Neutralizer. I say "bizarrely", because today's HoF entrant celebrates that which Gizmodo thought we were trying to kill, a genre we somehow made our own. Here are the Top Ten Fart Lighting Videos!

The Net has instigated much cultural change in our society -- blogging, social networking, match maker sites, eBay -- you get the picture. Now, with the proliferation of video sharing sites we are seeing a whole new genre of personal expression: The Fart Lighting Video.

Movie-1

After reviewing over 100 fart lighting videos on the net, here are the ten best. This wasn't an easy task, either. Most of what's out there is really uninspired, not to mention all the fakes and failures cluttering the ether. In order to make this task manageable, I decided to focus only on fart lighting. The list of top 10 dick lighting videos is for someone else to compile.

Here are the top 10 Fart Lighting Videos on the net.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Ten Great Hollywood Orgasms

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing. Continuing until new Year's Day, we'll be reprinting those pieces that brought us the most traffic.

Today's entrant was a story that - as a Brit now living in NYC - made me realize that YBNBY had reached the ultimate accolade in tacky pop culture stories, after this piece was featured in British tabloid newspaper, The Sun (they even went so far as to call it "a new survey" when in fact, it was just me making it up. Nice fact checking there, fellas).

Gusher
Recently we showed the latest TV spot from sex chain Ann Summers, featuring women reaching a yuletide climax (which in turn was probably inspired by Romantic Death by The Sun and THEIR inspiration, Beautiful Agony).

When you look at those clips, it's clear that the ones from Beautiful Agony have an “authenticity” that the Ann Summers actresses can't quite muster. Which got me thinking of some of the most outrageous orgasms of mainstream cinema. I bypassed porn, adult movies, Last Tango in Paris and the like, and concentrated more on mainstream films to bring you this countdown. So come with us now, as we build inexorably to a climax with our list of Ten Great Hollywood Orgasms.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: The Bambi Woods Interview

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing. Continuing until new Year's Day, we'll be reprinting those pieces that brought us the most traffic.

As a pop culture blog that focuses on fart videos, comics and nipslips, we rarely have pretensions to being true newshounds - most of our stories are conceived in the shower rather than the library. But occassionally we strike it big with a scoop. This piece continues to cause some debate about whether or not it's the real deal (believe it or not, it is), and it's also the one I'm proudest of. After nearly 30 years, we unlocked the secret of what happened to Bambi Woods in a multi-part interview, exclusively on YBNBY.


200705172124
Bambi Woods - one of the most famous adult movie stars of all time, and one of it's most enigmatic. She burst onto the scene in the 1978 "Debbie Does Dallas", became an international sensation, and then seemed to disappear almost as quickly as she arrived. her final whereabouts shrouded in mystery - in fact many people say she died in 1986 of a drugs overdose.

So, what really happened to Bambi Woods?

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Celebrity Nipslips

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing. Yesterday's HoF entrant got picked up by Sports illustrated, and crashed our server. Let's hope that today's entry doesn't provoke the sane reaction.

Looking back now, it's hard to remember a time when Lindsey and Britney and Paris didn't make it a weekly crusade to get out of cars without knickers on, so fueling the desires of millions of adolescent youths. But way back in December 2005, the sight of a bare celebrity nipple could still cause a ruckus. And so, once again, we fulfilled our civic duty, bringing to you the Top Ten Celebrity Nipslips.

Janet-Jackson-Tit
While perusing the Chumpstyle blog for our Trackback series, I happened upon a picture of Demi Moore letting it all hang out, which unfortunately turned out to be fake.

These are trying times for true aficionados of the celebrity wardrobe malfunction. On the one hand, a legion of photoshoppers have made it difficult to distinguish real from fake. And on the other, quasi-celebrities seem to hold no fear in revealing all of themselves for the camera, whether it be Chloe Sevigny with Vincent Gallo in The Brown Bunny, or Paris in the green glow of one of daddy's hotel rooms.

But for nipslip fans, it's not about titilation (well, not much). It's about the unplanned reveal, as fascinating as the Aces falling accidentally from the sleeve of the magician. Nakedness that mere nudity could never achieve. Which is why we can celebrate a Nipslip by Pam Anderson, regardless of what we can download of her doing on that boat with Tommy.

And so, without further ado, YesButNoButYes pops it's top button and celebrates Ten Great Celebrity Nipslips.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: The NFL Quarterbacks Wives' Club

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

Just to take a break from the pornography-themed HoF inductees (don't worry, there'll be more tomorrow), here's one that touched a nerve with our male audience, and ensured we were pretty high in Google's rankings for anyone ever searching for "Ashley Manning" -

ashley_manning.jpg

Yesterday, a friend asked me whether Colts QB Peyton Manning was married. I'm supposed to know these things. So I fired up The Google. Turns out Peyton does wear at least one ring. Ashley Manning, above, is a real estate developer and 1997 graduate of the University of Virginia.

While this information was easy to locate, I was surprised to not find one definitive source for photos of NFL players' wives. Not to mention a little let down.

Which brings me to my YesButNoButYes New Year's Resolution. In 2007, if I'm Googling something and can't find it, I must fill the void. It's time to give back. Without further intro blabber, I offer you this semi-complete (yet nonetheless definitive) list of the women behind the men behind center.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Porn Stars of the 70s and 80s

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

It took over two years from when we launched to find what could possibly be our specialist subject - porn stars. Looking back, the only surprise is that it took so long. But all good things COME to those who wait (ewww). It's a story that spawned several sequels, and led to an exclusive interview with a real porn star. But that's for another induction ceremony - today we're celebrating the grandmother of them all - Where are they now? Porn Stars of the 70s and 80s.

GoldenAgePorn.png
In between the age of Aquarius and the AIDS scare lay the Golden Age of Porn. In the 70s and 80s, adult films had plots and promotional budgets and stars who became famous. In addition to the stars of Debbie Does Dallas, which were featured here last year, there are plenty of porn stars to catch up with.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Babes of the 80's

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

Over the months, we've made quite an investment in tracking down the stars of yesteryear, and by far our most popular story was one that focussed on on a very select group - those ladies with big hair and bangles that enthralled those of us old enough to fanatasize about Kristy McNichol and The Lander's Sisters - Where are they now: Babes of the Eighties.

trivial80.jpg

Hey, have you heard? Trivial Pursuit is coming out with a new 80's edition. It's called Totally 80's, and they've dusted off everyone from Mrs. Garrett to Tubbs to promote it. I don't know...call me crazy but I think this 80's retro thing may take off. I could even see a whole network based on 70's and 80's nostalgia. Shows with stars like Peter Brady and Hulk Hogan, maybe even drag Ted Nugent out of the survival bunker to form a super group. No...on second thought, what the hell am I thinking, that all sounds awful. (But an 80's inspired line of home furnishings...now there's an idea)

Anyway, I noticed they also hired Kelly LeBrock, who doesn't look half bad after a season of Celebrity Fit Club. Almost makes me want to hate her again because she's beautiful. And that got me thinking...what are some of the other 80's goddesses doing these days? But not the normal ones you'd expect. I'm not curious about any brat packers or 90210'ers. I'm interested in the ladies you don't hear much about (or at least I don't). And I discovered some really interesting stuff along the way.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Top Ten Female Streakers

hof.png

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

Today our inductee is the story that for many months was our most trafficked story. It's the one that got us kicked from several advertising networks for indecency, and made the front pages of newspapers in Scandanavia and India. It's a celebration of ladies who take the concept of audience participation at sporting events to new heights - we give you the Top Ten Female Streakers.

Melissapic2-1
Streaking - a curiously British phenomenon (that guy who streaked behind David Niven at the Oscars notwithstanding). While I was growing up, it seemed that almost every national sporting event in England was interrupted by a naked runner - usually a short ugly hairy man who proved to the crowd just how cold the weather actually was (see Seinfeld, shrinkage).

But while no-one - male or female - probably gives a damn about seeing male dangly bits jogging across a tennis court, I thought there might be a little more interest in a Hall of Fame for the great female streakers to grace our sporting arenas.

And so, YBNBY provides a pictorial guide to the Ten best female streakers of all time. (NSFW)

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Unintentionally Funny Comic Panels

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been around.

Today we kick off the HOF, with our very first inductee. It's the story that's received the most views of any story we've ever printed (over 1.5 million pageviews to date), and for one day (according to BlogPulse) it was the most popular story on the internet. Along the way it stoked some controversy, found a lot of fans, and continues to bring smiles to faces. Reprinted here for you enjoyment - The Top 15 Unintentionally Funny Comic Book Panels.

funnycomic_jokerboner1.jpg

Comics are great because as they get older not only do they get more valuable (at least my future children hope so because they ain't going to no college unless a certain Mr. Spiderman can afford to send them) but they also get funnier. Thank god our use of language changes over the years because it makes our old comics look stupid and that's funny.

Here's a collection of the Top 15 Funniest Unintentionally Funny Comic Book Panels of All Time.
